Turkey Brook
Turkey Brook is a river in the northern outskirts of London. It rises in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and flows broadly eastwards to merge with the River Lea Navigation near Enfield Lock. Etymology The brook is named from the hamlet Turkey Street, which is recorded as ''Tokestreete'' (1441), ''Tuckhey strete'' (1610), ''Tuckey street'' (1615), and ''Turkey street'' (1805) (probably street of houses, i.e. hamlet, from Middle English ''strete'', associated with a family called ''Toke'' or ''Tokey''). The modern form of the name ''Turkey'', not in use before the 19th century, is no doubt due to folk etymology.

Australian Bustard
The Australian bustard (''Ardeotis australis'') is a large ground dwelling bird which is common in grassland, woodland and open agricultural country across northern Australia and southern New Guinea. It stands at about high, and its wingspan is around twice that length. The species is nomadic, flying to areas when food becomes plentiful, and capable of travelling long distances. They were once widespread and common to the open plains of Australia, but became rare in regions that were populated by Europeans during the colonisation of Australia. The bustard is omnivorous, mostly consuming the fruit or seed of plants, but also eating invertebrates such as crickets, grasshoppers, smaller mammals, birds and reptiles. The species is also commonly referred to as the plains turkey, and in Central Australia as the bush turkey, particularly by Aboriginal people, who hunt it, although the latter name may also be used for the Australian brushturkey, as well as the orange-footed scrubfowl. ...

Turkey (bowling)
In bowling, a ''strike'' means that all of the pins have been knocked down on the first ball roll of a frame. On a bowling scoresheet, a strike is marked by an "X". In American nine-pin bowling, a ringer is an equivalent term for knocking down all pins on the first ball of the frame (known as a ''full house''). Scoring When all ten pins are knocked down with the first ball roll (called a strike and typically rendered as an "X" on a score sheet), a player is awarded ten points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next two rolls (not necessarily the next two frames). In this way, the points scored for the two rolls after the strike are counted twice. ::Frame 1, ball 1: 10 pins (strike) ::Frame 2, ball 1: 3 pins ::Frame 2, ball 2: 6 pins ::The total score from these throws is: :::*Frame one: 10 + (3 + 6) = 19 :::*Frame two: 3 + 6 = 9 ::::TOTAL = 28 An easier non-standard method of scoring a strike is to score the strike with a flat 10 points and then add 1 to the multipl ...
